I saw this on one of my other groups and I Love it. You layer 2 squares facing. Sew 1/4 inch around all four sides then cut each way from corner to corner cutting into 4 pieces. When you press them open - all seams to the darker side, you just lay them out ready to sew together. All pieces are the same size. The same lady posted a chart of sizes for different squares. Remember that these measurements are for the 4 square you get - NOT the finished pinwheel.
2" squares = 1" HST 2 1/2" = 1 1/2 3 1/2 " = 2" 4" - 2 1/2 5" = 3 1/2 6" = 4 7" = 4 1/2 8" = 5" 8 1/2 = 5 1/2 9" - 6 10" - 7 I did find it easier to trim all my corners after I pressed when I was making small size for a 3" finished pinwheel. |
Wooo! Love me an accurate triangle!

Thanks!

This is such a cool way to make pinwheels! Thanks
|
Thanks, Cathy :-)
|
Wow, at last an easier way to make perfect squares from triangles.
|
THANKS :thumbup:
|
Why didn't I think of that???? How simple! I love it
|
Oh thank you. I've seen this done on U-Tube and was waiting for a formula. Thanks again.

Question: don't you get bias edges on the HST's? Or am I thinking wrong?
